Nagaland: WRI launches ‘Energy Access Explorer’ platform

| @indiablooms | 30 Jul 2023, 09:23 pm

World Resources Institute (WRI), on Friday, launched its flagship geospatial platform-Energy Access Explorer (EAE) for the eastern Indian state of Nagaland.

Nagaland is now the third Indian state to have access to the platform at present.

EAE is a geo-spatial platform that provides data on electricity, health, education and livelihood indicators in the regions, reports East Mojo.

It aims to assist policymakers, entrepreneurs and governments to decide the least cost and most sustainable energy access solutions for unserved and underserved communities to accelerate development.

Chairman of Investment and Development Authority of Nagaland (IDAN) and Advisor to Chief Minister, Abu Metha who graced the occasion observed that data collection in a state like Nagaland can be challenging due to connectivity and accessibility issues.

He appreciated the WRI for taking the initiative to cover Nagaland, as the Northeast region is often a forgotten part of India.
